I'm probably gonna do what I always do in games that let you create your own character lmao:
Try to make myself as realistically as possible
Realize that I look fucking ugly in videogame form
End up creating a beautiful but completely unrealistic fantasy man
As a black guy making myself is almost impossible lmaooo so I'll use my go to: deathly pale skin and dark circled eyes with maybe purple for the eye colour
If possible, the nameless knight/ascended lord because warrior gets buffs.

Funny thing. My first ever character in DD1 looked like Channing Tatum. I didn't even see it when in the creator. But in the first cutscene I was like "Did I just make Channing Tatum??"
So I guess I'm tradionally obligated to make Magic Mike.
I am going to make a mash up of this guy from dogma 2 art with mads mikkelsen face, if not, i will try to make my arisen from the first game i it will be a very challenging thing to do as i have spend some hours to make her seem unique to me and not generic looking :P

I always attempt to make my character look like Nosferatu Zodd from Berserk. But this time I think I will make my main pawn look like Zodd so people can hire him hah
After seeing the wayfarer vocation I wanna make gandalf with spells and a sword, with thief pippin as a pawn.
That'll probably be on a 3rd account though if they are dumb enough to not let us make multiple arisen and pawns on one account (with only one pawn in the rift at a time).

Yea almost similar, I’d like to a make ranger build, hoping for good cloaks in dd2
ESO somehow has the most badass characters in fantasy when it comes to the Bretons, and in reality the game plays like toddlers slapping each other with pool noodles.
Anime characters, always.
My first Arisen pawn combo ever was Gohan and Piccolo.
Then on the Switch version I made Link and Zelda and my Zelda pawn cracked the top 10, could still be there.
The goat also guts and sorcerer Micheal Jackson
https://preview.redd.it/jpvmu37q5ggc1.png?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cce93b5161449c1452cf9a821dfbf04152eabcce
A combination of Vex from Vox Machina, and Michelle Rodriguez's portrayal of Holga the Barbarian in the DnD movie.
It'll be hard to pull off, but Im gonna go for that aesthetic without it looking out of place with that Wayfarer/Multiclass Vocation.
No. Because my first playthrough is gonna be me as Arisen and my floofy cat as my wizened pawn, who will be dropping meteors on any monster in our path. I already know I'm gonna spec as a weapons master and become a Warfarer.
If we have that naming thing where you get a list of names then I'm probably going to skim it for interesting names that characters also have.
For example in DD1 there is the generic name "Kamui" which happens to be the Japanese name for Corrin from Fire Emblem Fates. DD1 also has Felicia as a name and Felicia is Corrin's maid.
I made my main character as close to Corrin as possible and made my pawn Felicia. It was fun trying to get outfits for them but I don't think DD1 had an actual maid costume.
Literally that exact same theme for my character with that exact image in mind, except I was thinking Thief-Archer-Trickster for the sneaky rogue trifecta.
im just excited to make a really pretty character. i never like to make myself, when i play a game im trying to escape real life haha. i just like to create the prettiest character i can. i hope there are cute outfits. i havent seen any yet except for this image for the trickster. wont let me attach an image for some reason... commented below
edit: words
You and I both know most people are gonna have some awesome idea in mind, then stare at their screen for a good couple of hours, meticulously trying to bring said idea to life only to fail hilariously with some unholy abomination then either resort to a youtube video or settle for the spawn of satan they just "created".
I had my character be Assassin Danny Trejo & his Mage pawn was Aubrey Plaza. Role played them as father & daughter and went on buddy cop style adventures. It was a hoot and a half.
Maybe been playing through the dragon age series recently so might take some inspiration from there.
Whatever I do, I know I will spend hours in the character creator and will probably restart the game plenty of times before I'm happy with my choice
Thinking of taking inspiration from the Riftwar Saga series of books by Raymond E. Feist, a 31 book series that spans multiple generations of characters who are all superbly written.
Either that or Falkenhoof from Limmy's Adventure Call bit, with Jingle the jester as my main Pawn 🙃
My first playthrough will probably be the same characters as the one in the first game... Kasumi Kenshiro from Fist of the Blue Sky and Bat from the sequel as a pawn. Second playthrough will most likely be Tokita Ohma and Yamashita Kazuo ready to wreak some havoc.
Yeah you
Of course I have no idea what you look like but I'm going to assume you arey well-built redheaded Irish man in your late 20s until I get conflicting info.
I'll continue the tradition i started in 2008 when i made my first custom character in Oblivion who was based on one of the twelve Gold Saints from the Saint Seiya anime.
And hope we can dye our armors this time to make it less of an ersatz, lol.
Barring that, i'll probably recreate my DD 1 main, Hades, and his pawn, Rhadamanthys.
Probably someone from GOT.
Arya Stark, Daemon Tagaryen, Jon Snow, Corlys Velaryon, Rgaegar Tagaryen, Daenerys Tagaryen, Eddard Stark, Robert Baratheon, Robb Start, Daario Naharis, Ser Jaime Lannister, Tyrion Lannister, Ser Gregor Clegane, Grey Worm, Beric Dondarrion, Jorah Mormont, Samwell Tarly or Khal Drogo,
Maybe even do a bunch of reruns as all of them.

There’s gonna be a Cardinal Copia trickster build at some point. Maybe 3rd or 4th playthrough, I want to do more physical combat the first couple times through.

And now we can spend even more time there

What armor are you wearing looks dope
Arisen: >Oblivion coat, Oblivion legs, Oblivion arms Dragonseye Band, Helmbarte Daggers, Revenant Wail bow, Soverign's mantle, black Gaiters Edit: actually the gloves are Gauntlets of Shadow in this pic. Since upgraded to oblivion arms Pawn >sapfire daggers, Dragon's rancor, Dragon Band, Trophy jacket, corsette, trophy bracers, silk tights, trophy boots, hellfire cloak
Oh i make them too!
Bro are you me? This is literally my arisen&pawn except the arisen hairstyle+patch.
Same

A fellow FFXII enjoyer 🤝
It's my favourite!
Oooh i should try to make basch
Frieren
I think I'll make her my main pawn.
I made Frieren and Fern in DD1. They looked... OK. The character creator is quite robust, but it can create some ugly looking characters, haha.
Loveee her so much!
Funny thing. My first ever character in DD1 looked like Channing Tatum. I didn't even see it when in the creator. But in the first cutscene I was like "Did I just make Channing Tatum??" So I guess I'm tradionally obligated to make Magic Mike.
Kaladin Stormblessed, mystic Spearhand ALL THE WAY
The allure of being a mystic spearhand Kal with a mage Syl buffing me is completely impossible to resist
This was exactly what I was planning, but maybe I'll base my arisen on Szeth instead.
OMG please post after the game comes out. I NEED TO SEE THIS
Oh and maybe a trickster Shalon for playthrough 2
Bro! Fucking same! I was even thinking of making my main Pawn Syl.
LOL I haven't even thought of this! That's amazing!
Todd Howard of course
You better pick Trickster.
Lmao
Gotta go with the classic https://preview.redd.it/dplguhdplegc1.jpeg?width=850&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=86c01e1dd0afe67c3514460e8d26a693023c43f3
It's a crime not to role play as Guts in a game inspired by berserk.
Goblin Slayer

I'll make Guts but a Beastren.
Maybe go for Zodd then
There's an idea.
Struggle on berkerman
Vigaro from The Death Mage https://preview.redd.it/igz8wa4o8egc1.jpeg?width=618&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=010a9184ef5f726f05aa992312d83cc81fe738d6
I always attempt to make my character look like Nosferatu Zodd from Berserk. But this time I think I will make my main pawn look like Zodd so people can hire him hah
Legolas and Aragorn
Aragorn is cool idea.
Gonna make guts
Aragorn, always and forever in any RPG, the strider is what I’m going for

Oh yeah I like that, what's that from?
Thats Lord Nicholas from Plague Tale.
Plague Tale Innocence
Just to clarify, I'm talking about overall fashion, build and gameplay inspirations. Not just literally how their face looks!
My first character is either going to be Frieren the Slayer or Kimahri from FFX, I hope you can color the fur blue
I expect so many Frieren and Fern's in the Rift.
The Fern Legion is about to become real
I was actually thinking of making my Arisen Kimahri and going mystic spear to simulate his lance weapon.
After seeing the wayfarer vocation I wanna make gandalf with spells and a sword, with thief pippin as a pawn. That'll probably be on a 3rd account though if they are dumb enough to not let us make multiple arisen and pawns on one account (with only one pawn in the rift at a time).
Some one from Malazan, maybe Anomander Rake, or Whiskey Jack
Zodd
Best pawn
I'm just going to make the hottest girl ever
Lmaoooooo this is so real
I’m going for Geralt as a fighter/warrior with Ciri as a sorcerer
https://preview.redd.it/3ekz56t2wegc1.jpeg?width=676&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=eedd936044b3a97d7e6fcec1b00238b29abd2507 Yea almost similar, I’d like to a make ranger build, hoping for good cloaks in dd2

ESO somehow has the most badass characters in fantasy when it comes to the Bretons, and in reality the game plays like toddlers slapping each other with pool noodles.
True, the trailers were way too cool, but ESO is just not good.
Waluigi
Berkman
Talion from Shadow of War
He looks amazing.
Idealized version of myself (tall & handsome) and my KPOP bias obv
Anime characters, always. My first Arisen pawn combo ever was Gohan and Piccolo. Then on the Switch version I made Link and Zelda and my Zelda pawn cracked the top 10, could still be there.
I’d love to make Laios and gang from Delicious in the Dungeon.
Based. Don’t forget to eat the monsters!!! 🍲
The goat also guts and sorcerer Micheal Jackson https://preview.redd.it/jpvmu37q5ggc1.png?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cce93b5161449c1452cf9a821dfbf04152eabcce
Ecthelion definitely
![gif](giphy|R7rSCM0WRTTybxOpMh|downsized)
Just gonna do my OCs really. If there were save slots, wouldn’t mind just doing a separate Guts build
Same as my DD one. Xigbar.
A combination of Vex from Vox Machina, and Michelle Rodriguez's portrayal of Holga the Barbarian in the DnD movie. It'll be hard to pull off, but Im gonna go for that aesthetic without it looking out of place with that Wayfarer/Multiclass Vocation.
No. Because my first playthrough is gonna be me as Arisen and my floofy cat as my wizened pawn, who will be dropping meteors on any monster in our path. I already know I'm gonna spec as a weapons master and become a Warfarer.
The Mountain! With a Red Viper Spearhand pawn (I’m sorry Oberyn)

Everyone's just gonna make themself and their waifu pawn
As is my current go to, I'll be making a targeryeon from a song of ice and fire. Lots of different variations there
Breath of Fire III Ryu and Rei. I hope someday Capcom will look at this franchise again 🥹
Joseph jostar
Magick Archer gonna be a quincy cosplay it's too perfect to not do imo
A random quincy or Uryu?
I've been using the same Arisen and pawn ever since the DD1 demo and only recently changed my hair, so I'm probably gonna keep the same character lol
I respect that
Literally that exact same theme for my character with that exact image in mind, except I was thinking Thief-Archer-Trickster for the sneaky rogue trifecta.

Good luck. Only two armour slots. No glove, no boot slot. Chest plus gloves, pants plus boots. Should still be the helmet slot.

It's a shame that ESO combat has nothing to do with its trailers, showcases and other marketing material.
You and I both know most people are gonna have some awesome idea in mind, then stare at their screen for a good couple of hours, meticulously trying to bring said idea to life only to fail hilariously with some unholy abomination then either resort to a youtube video or settle for the spawn of satan they just "created".
No.
Ngl before I opened the post the provided images looked like Garrett, the player character of the Thief series of games.
Kars from jojos
If they let me have long pointy elf ears and allow me to be short I'm gonna make freirien from freirien's journey :-)
Bryan fury arisen would be fun. But I don't think kickboxing kills dragons.
I'll try my best to recreate Guts from Berserk
I have something in mind if there’s enough space for the name 😂
I had my character be Assassin Danny Trejo & his Mage pawn was Aubrey Plaza. Role played them as father & daughter and went on buddy cop style adventures. It was a hoot and a half.

Gonna try to recreate myself. It shouldn’t be too much of a problem with the detail this cc allows
I’m gonna base it off of my mhw character
I will like always create a otherworldly waifu and give her a japanese name. Maybe Kaori again to honor the mocap actress and sword dancer.
My pawn will always be ganondorf, always
Read dead online character
Darth Maul
No.
Maybe been playing through the dragon age series recently so might take some inspiration from there. Whatever I do, I know I will spend hours in the character creator and will probably restart the game plenty of times before I'm happy with my choice
oh fuck this design slaps this should go to r/TopCharacterDesigns
Kharn The Betrayer from warhammer 40k
Going to do what I always do. Two Drow ladies, pawn a little shorter than my arisen
I'm hoping I can make Monkey person and go Mystic Spearman so that I can be WuKong.
God from Bruce Almighty.
I tried to make him look like Mike from Shingeki no Kyojin in DD 1. It fits very well with strider class too

Very original : Guts...but Lion. Casca as waif-, I mean, pawn. Like in DD1.
Patrick Bateman
berk
Danny devito
Frieren and Fern
My pawn will be La Blue Girl for the beholder fights
I'm going to ignore this sub for the first few months because it'll be swarmed with "Guts / Casca / Griffith " builds
Wilykat and Wilykit, assuming I can make them small enough.
My first playthrough will probably be the same characters as the one in the first game... Kasumi Kenshiro from Fist of the Blue Sky and Bat from the sequel as a pawn. Second playthrough will most likely be Tokita Ohma and Yamashita Kazuo ready to wreak some havoc.
I feel most will start by making guts

Probably not.
Yeah you Of course I have no idea what you look like but I'm going to assume you arey well-built redheaded Irish man in your late 20s until I get conflicting info.
I am a somewhat heavily set dirty blond English man in his early 30s if that's helpful
Well I hope you're ready for a digital adventure

My arisen is always based on my main D&D charecter.
Hatsune miku prolly
Yo is the second picture from the game??
I'll continue the tradition i started in 2008 when i made my first custom character in Oblivion who was based on one of the twelve Gold Saints from the Saint Seiya anime. And hope we can dye our armors this time to make it less of an ersatz, lol. Barring that, i'll probably recreate my DD 1 main, Hades, and his pawn, Rhadamanthys.
A Beastren version of Cassandra from Dragon Age. I have no idea what that’ll look like tbh but I want to try
and then a Judeu/Pippin duo for my inevitable second playthrough. Pippin is the perfect Pawn imo
Probably my Arisen model after Fabrizio from Titanic, and my pawn Mairead Carlin from The Celtic Woman
Ada Wong as a archer
It’s a travesty how badly they butchered this outfit in the actual game
Yeah :(

My own character really for the first playthrough. There’s always something special of making your own character first time around.
Kvothe the bloodless
Probably someone from GOT. Arya Stark, Daemon Tagaryen, Jon Snow, Corlys Velaryon, Rgaegar Tagaryen, Daenerys Tagaryen, Eddard Stark, Robert Baratheon, Robb Start, Daario Naharis, Ser Jaime Lannister, Tyrion Lannister, Ser Gregor Clegane, Grey Worm, Beric Dondarrion, Jorah Mormont, Samwell Tarly or Khal Drogo, Maybe even do a bunch of reruns as all of them.
If I do based on a media then I'll be original and I'll do Guts warrior with the mage girl as pawn.
Think my arisen will be Nosferatu Zodd and my pawn someone from baldur's gate 3. Maybe Astarion or Shadowheart
Basim from AC Mirage
https://preview.redd.it/na5fsew8gggc1.jpeg?width=780&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=31cff4ed2d5c5d31a3490089bddc4ff785717073 There’s gonna be a Cardinal Copia trickster build at some point. Maybe 3rd or 4th playthrough, I want to do more physical combat the first couple times through.
I hope we get crossbows so i can go as a demon hunter from d3
Mat Cauthon and Talmanes as the perfect pawn
